We'd like to take this opportunity to remind all #podmins that running queries directly on diaspora*s database for any reason is a bad idea and will most likely to harm to your system. Unless a member of our project team (recognizable by the role title on Discourse, as well as the little diaspora* asterisk placed on top of the profile pictures on Discourse) tells you to run a specific query for maintenance purposes, do not do it.

If you want to remove spam from your pod, download this script, fill in the correct details, and run it with bin/bundle exec ruby diaspora_spam.rb inside your diaspora folder. If you have further questions, we're happy to help out - just open a new thread in our Discourse's "Podmin Support" section.

Save money, block advertising.

"[..] Americans would save more than $91 million annually. Globally, uBlock Origin could save consumers more than $1.8 billion/year. Open source ad blockers are a potentially effective technology for energy conservation."

Internet-related electricity consumption is rising rapidly as global Internet users spend more than 6.5 h per day online. Open source ad blockers have the potential to reduce the time and thus electricity spent using computers by eliminating ads during Internet browsing and video streaming. In this study, three open source ad blockers are tested against a no-ad blocker control. Page load time is recorded for browsing a representative selection of the globally most-accessed websites, and the time spent watching ads on videos is quantified for both trending and non-trending content. The results show that page load time dropped 11% with AdBlock+, 22.2% with Privacy Badger, and 28.5% with uBlock Origin. Thus, uBlock Origin has the potential to save the average global Internet user more than 100 h annually. The energy conserved if everyone in the United States used the open source ad blocker would save over 36 Americans lives per year if it were to offset coal-fired electricity generated-based pollution. In the United States, if all Internet users enabled Privacy Badger on their computers, Americans would save more than $91 million annually. Globally, uBlock Origin could save consumers more than $1.8 billion/year. Open source ad blockers are a potentially effective technology for energy conservation.

What this ProPublica piece fails to reveal is that Chicago is keeping those 20 Libraries open because it’s cheaper than what it would cost to house Chicago's 16,451 registered homeless students, about 4.5 percent of its student body

.Homeless children have no internet access. That means they will be prevented from taking part in the Chicago Public School's online study program during the elongated school closings due to COVID-19. As if those kids didn’t have it bad enough already. So Chicago’s mayor, Lori Lightfoot, is doing what she can to help those kids by keeping those 20 Libraries open. Everything is not always black and white..ProPublica should have delved a little deeper to understand that during last fall's Chicago Teachers Union Strike, one of the teacher’s main demands was for the Chicago to provide housing for these deeply disadvantaged students. Mayor Lightfoot refused. It was because she had to negotiate where she could within budget constraints. Again, everything is not always black and white. Shame on you, ProPublica.

.

.Here’s where having a Democrat in the Oval Office and a democrat-heavy Senate and House would make a world of difference. Instead of giving tax cuts to the 1% and multi billion dollar corporations, we could be helping cities like Chicago tackle this travesty of so many children being denied a chance at life.

No, we do not need a revolution to fix this. All we need is sane, humane people in key positions of government who do the right thing while keeping an eye on a balanced budget …. so we can keep doing the right thing.

Bernie helped ensure Hillary’s electoral defeat in 2016 and that is why things are as bad as they are today. Now, many of Bernie’s people are saying that they refuse to vote for Biden because they are furious, AGAIN, that Bernie isn’t going to be the nominee. If that happens, AGAIN, it will be on the shoulders of those immature, self-serving Bernie supporters that those homeless children in Chicago (and other cities) will remain homeless forever. Those who repeat 2016 had better not think for a minute that anyone is going to buy their lies about caring about people. Once was enough. Twice would be an insult to intelligence. If Sanders allows his followers to pull the same stunt, his name will be remembered in infamy. And he will deserve every trashing he gets from every historian who mentions his name. So will the generation who helped him. They will be remembered as the antithesis of "The Greatest Generation.”

This President's Day holiday I'm firing up my #ruby and #kotline dev VM for the first time since July, patching, and updating sources to get my #diaspora API based blog comments code running now that that code is running (in beta) on

diaspora\* version 0.7.13.0 released!

This is an unscheduled update which includes some urgent security fixes, so please update soon. Since the last release, this release collects 67 commits made by 4 contributors. It's only a maintenance release, as you can tell. :)

Notable Changes

Introduces an automatic cleanup job to remove photos that have been uploaded but never got submitted in a post. #8041

Removes the dependency to rails-assets.org to prevent installation or upgrade issues when the service is down. #8087

Updating

Podmins, please update your pods as soon as possible. Update instructions are available as usual in the wiki. For those of you who have been testing the release candidate, run git checkout master before the update to get back to the stable release branch.

If you are a user not running your own pod, there is nothing you need to do!This section usually contains dates for upcoming releases, but not this time! We are currently working hard on pushing some awesome new things into the next major version. Because of this ongoing work, we have temporarily suspended our regular minor release cycle. We will update y'all as soon as we have something to update! :)#diaspora #announcement #release #07130

Ohai there, friends! Sorry for the bit of silence in the last couple of months, we don't like that either, so we figured it's time to make some noise! A few moments ago, we merged the API branch into develop, which means that starting now, all pods on the develop branch support the new, fancy API!

Note that this is not a stable release yet. Until diaspora\* 0.8.0.0 is officially released, this API is not considered stable, and we might change things at any time without notice to improve usability and stability. We plan on reaching a stable point once we push 0.8.0.0 into release, but we will communicate as soon as we consider the API stable. Consider it experimental until then. :)

Please do check out the API documentation if you want to know what you can do with the API, and how to use it. We're looking forward to your ideas, and we're curious what you will build with it.

If you had plans for an application using the API, now is a great time to start working on that. We know that we said the API is not stable yet, and that's true, but your feedback will help to improve the API and polishing it for a stable release. If you do find bugs where diaspora* does not behave like you'd expect from reading the API documentation, please file a bug on diaspora* so we can iron that out. If you have an idea for an improvement or you think we should change something within the API, please open a bug on the API documentation. For all other kinds of questions and input regarding the API, we created a new category on Discourse, so please join us there! :)

Yes API made it into the the develop branch and is on the way to be on a stable release when 0.8.0.0 is released. This means #dandelion* can properly use the features provided by the API and give all notifications and native feel which was missing in the web view. Not to mention the fact that we can have even a cool console client which can use the API, the possibilities are unlimited.

This is a continuation on my "couple of days" challenge I'm doing since I have time to kill waiting for replies/rejections to job applications. I skipped Friday because a friend took me out skiing, eating and then I napped. Picked things up on Saturday and have been puttering today.

I need to figure out how to install and set up a development version of a *diaspora pod locally so I can learn how the OpenID + OAuth stuff works. Until then though I've fleshed out a simple UI using Qt and QML:

“With the release of the new HTTPS/JSON based diaspora API the author decided as a personal challenge to see how much of a simple client could be written using QTQuick and QML in the span of 1 day, 2 days, and so on.”

I’m going to see how much time it takes to install and configure the various dependencies before starting the clock officially.

@Jonne Haß I see you're currently working on the #diaspora API, I'll glady test it on #diaspora-fr once it's ready for a pre-release try. Can you please ping me when you feel it has reached that state?

So I set up a Diaspora* pod brighton,social one year and 5 months ago. I've been fairly busy with many other things recently, but i was quite surprised to see that this pod now has 3,317 users and last month we saw 78,993 unique (by IP address) visitors to the pod.

Didn't expect things to expand quite so quickly, though the platform should be able to handle quite a bit more than the traffic we're currently getting.

Everything paid for out of my own pocket, but Im happy to support a great project.
